i when down a rabbit hole with these… turns out either side is about 1/10 as rough as the center of the channel and people are hitting the center intentionally for fun… apparently if you get enough speed to plane out and trim up a bit it’s easily manageable for a decent sized boat. I fail to see the fun of it… and kids without life jackets is insane. That’s the wtf I kept seeing on these vids.

 

Royal ass.

17-18 k lbs on a 7k trailer, what could go wrong

 

Thats only a D3, I think you overshot what it weighs

 

The internets says operating weight 17,842

I was curious so I googled it. Not sure what "operating" weight is, but I'd guess it's the weight with fuel, oil, rotund operator behind the controls?

Edit - I may have picked the wrong D3 configuration

 

Ford also has an issue with broncos, broncos sport, escapes, and E-Series cargo vans having DLC ports that don't allow EPA regulated emissions testing computers to actually communicate with the damn machines.

 

I haven’t seen this yet. Are they the next diesel vwgate?

 

No clue, but apparently in areas that require emissions testing. There's a whole process with logging it and then calling up the highway patrol and giving them the numbers etc. Kind of annoying. Glad I don't work at a Ford dealer

 

Google it and I have hauled a lot of heavy equip in my career.

 

There's a different thread for that: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/non-descriptive-english-word-thread-title.5333/

 

ritchiespecs is what you get from Ritchie Bros Auctioneers, and trust me as I have hauled a lot of pieces from them auctions and they are not accurate with specs.

 

well tell us what the weight is then, higher or lower?
Ok heres another...

I would say with the rear ripper and full enclosed cab (minus broken windows) 25 to 30k
